The book provides urgent insight into the formation of Arctic cities and their trajectories from both a global polar view and from on the fragile ground in which they emerge. * Mason White, University of Toronto, Canada, founding partner, LATERAL OFFICE *\u003cbr\u003eThe book will certainly be useful for the widest audience. First of all, those who are directly involved in the architecture and design of Arctic cities will find interesting material in it, there is a lot of interesting comparative material for them here ... Of course, the book is also useful for those who are interested in the Arctic from a cultural and political point of view. But the most amazing thing is that the book is useful for everyone who is engaged in urban studies anywhere and has never even had anything to do with the Arctic. The existential problems of Arctic cities, which the book makes you think about, allow you to think more deeply about the patterns of urban development in general. -- Nadezhda Zamyatina * Polar Record *\u003cbr\u003eIn an increasingly relevant and global North, Peter Hemmersam brings a perspective of urbanism. Russia, Canada and Greenland of the last century offer Hemmersam ideas of relationships, and the historical and political frameworks that drive the built form. Hemmersam recognizes Indigenous communities and knowledge that provide a blueprint for thriving within the landscapes, which has been both embraced and ignored by settlers. With a sense of utility and in a place of extremes, we consider a new architecture and a new plan for imagining urban futures in the Arctic. * Julie Decker, Museum Director\/CEO, Anchorage Museum, USA *\u003cbr\u003eWithin a context of accelerated climate change, Hemmersam’s book brings much needed expertise to fill a void in scholarship that is long overdue for understanding the legacy and future of architecture and urban design in the incredibly important, complex, and rapidly changing Arctic region. * Matthew Jull, PhD, Arctic Design Group, School of Architecture, University of Virginia, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking the Arctic City\u003c\/i\u003e offers a compelling angle to enhance our understanding of the persistent colonial perceptions and imaginaries that have largely influenced Arctic urban development and city-building in all circumpolar regions, including the Barents region. Most circumpolar cities may have rather short histories, but the book is a crucial reminder that these cities are far from historyless. -- Auni Haapala * Barents Studies *\u003cbr\u003eAs the Artic is made up of many Norths, Arctic urbanism is as diverse as urbanism elsewhere. By exploring  these connections and dependencies, \u003ci\u003eMaking the Arctic City \u003c\/i\u003emakes an important contribution to  a more comprehensive and inclusive understanding of Arctic Cities. -- Torill Nyseth * Eurasian Geography and Economics *\u003cbr\u003eTo understand the mechanisms of Arctic urbanism, the publication \u003ci\u003eMaking the Arctic City\u003c\/i\u003e by Peter Hemmersam is very recommended. * The Arctic Institute, Map of the Month *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures List of Maps Preface Introduction  \u003cb\u003ePart One: Framing the Arctic City\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
